MeTA1 is a modularized message transfer agent consisting of five (or more) persistent processes, four of which are multi-threaded.MeTA1 consists of five main modules of which only one runs as root

mcp: the main control program is similar to inetd(8): it starts all other MeTA1 modules and watches over their execution. mcp runs as root in order to bind to port 25 and to change the uid of the processes it starts.

The syntax of the MeTA1 configuration file is very simple and resembles C programs or the BIND 9 configuration files. A configuration file does not require any special layout, e.g., tabs or one option per line, but relies on braces and semicolons as structuring elements.

The first release of MeTA1 is intended to be used as a secure and efficient mail gateway. It offers features that are not available in sendmail 8 (or some other open source MTAs), however, it does not provide any builtin support for mail content modification, e.g., masquerading of addresses or changing (addition, removal) of headers. Those features are currently only available via the pmilter API.

PyInstaller is a program that converts (packages) Python programs into stand-alone executables, under Windows, Linux, and Mac OS X. Its main advantages over similar tools are that PyInstaller works with any version of Python since 1.5, it builds smaller executables thanks to transparent compression, it is fully multi-platform, and use the OS support to load the dynamic libraries, thus ensuring full compatibility.

Features of PyInstaller

• Packaging of Python programs into standard executables, that work on computers without Python installed.
• Multiplatform: works under Windows and Linux.
• Dual packaging mode:
• Single directory: build a directory containing an executable plus all the external binary modules (.dll, .pyd, .so) used by the program.
• Single file: build a single executable file, totally self-contained, which runs without any external dependency.
• Support for automatic binary packing through the well-known [WWW] UPX compressor.
• Optional console mode (see standard output and standard error at runtime).
• Selectable executable icon (Windows only).
• Fully configurable version resource section in executable (Windows only).
• Support for building COM servers (Windows only).
